Life of Christ 1985 – Part 4 – The Beautitudes

What if the most famous sermon in history wasn’t meant for the crowds, but was a deep, challenging message delivered directly to Christ’s hardest workers? Gene Edwards uncovers the historical setting of the Beatitudes—a monumental event preceded by Jesus’ all-night prayer to choose the twelve. The message was delivered to a sordid lot of determined followers, many of whom were spiritually destitute or physically hungry as they traveled with Him. Gene Edwards reveals that this teaching contained both profound reassurance and frightening declarations, including a woe to the rich and a stark warning to those who order and arrange their lives so that everyone will speak well of them. Discover the uncomfortable reality of discipleship and why persecution becomes your reward in the kingdom of the heavens. This profound message defines what it truly takes to be a worker for the Lord.
